Could these lights be used on a different, standard tripod? I need to be able to raise them higher than the included tripod will allow. Thanks.

If by standard tripod, you mean a standard lighting tripod, then yes. To fit a camera tripod, you will need an adapter that screws onto the tripod's mount.

The lamp heads are removable but I don't know enough about tripods to be able to say these would fit on one that is not from this company.

I am not sure; however, they screws that adjust the lights are standard screws you adjust by hand; therefore, I believe there is a possibility.

You can tighten them and it will stay standing but I wouldn't trust it to be a tripod. Maybe only if you use a light camera and no one will be around it. I use it to film weddings. The feet help with stability while I'm filming.

I think that it could be use fine with another brands of tripod because the join is only in the base and the claps are adjustable. Important to know that when you put its with the same brand tripod its not open completely.

Yes you can. It can be tricky to mount and un-mount and also you have to be careful with putting too much weight on one end while on tripod. But it works fine.

No. Mine are mounted on the ground and light up a nice area of maybe 4 to 5 feet in diameter. As they point up higher, the beam becomes less. You could always purchase 2 of these lights and put them about 3 feet apart and that would probably give you the light you are looking for.

The light can be mounted on a standard 1/4" screw, as on a tripod mount. My light stands have baby studs that have that kind of quarter inch screw poking out the end. FZ96 comes with a swivel widget that allows the light to be tilted. I power the lights using a little 12v power brick (about $5 - and make sure you get the correct pin size- 2.5mm I think). That eliminates the weight of batteries and makes so you can use even very lightweight stands.

Yes, it can be connected to any standard tripod. I attach mine to a tripod to gain extra height. This arm is fairly expensive, but it is all metal construction. If you are using a heavy camera, there is a double arm model available.

I suppose it could be with limitations,. The light can be adjusted up and down. I believe they are made for wall mounting though, which how I mounted mine, under a soffit. Good product,

Mike C. These stands suck hard. Fortunately they are a pretty standard light stand. Look for any nicer stand and they should work.

I believe almost all cameras use the standard screw mount for attaching to a tripod. I can't answer 100%, but I would be very surprised if your particular camera wasn't compatible.

Any just you need a socket for a regular tripod, you can hook it up on the top is a little screw and just add it is simple not big problem .

You would have to get a light stand to tripod adapter for the thread diameter of the tripod head. Even then, I'm not sure I would use it. The movements of a lightstand are not nearly as stable as a traditional tripods. By that I mean when you loosen the sections on these they drop real fast, and are spring dampened, which may cause some issues with the weight of the camera bouncing, and possibly flipping off the tripod head, because of the force of the camera on the head.

Certainly , you may have to extend the length of the support chains that are supplied with the light. You may have to go to a lighting, hardware or big box store and get much longer suspension chains to offset the additional height of an angled or cathedral type ceiling.

Any standard tripod works with this. We've used a few different ones and they have all worked with no problems.

Not that I know of. I used three as makeup lights so no experience with high up

Oh no!! I found that a GoPro USB charger fits into these lights as well so you could in theory use that! (If you had a GoPRo that is!) Otherwise, maybe you can pick up a GoPro USB charger cable and use that? It fits for me!!

Contact the maker "J. B. Camera designs" he has some 'beta' screws that will solve your problem. I contacted him, he asked for my mailing address and sent me two replacement screws. Works great on a tripod now. Hamish
